Refreshing Metal Albums

Dismember ' Like and Ever Following Stream' is great. Here are some other goodies from Sweden that I like a lot:

Repugnant - 'Epitome of Darkness' (ANOTHER SWEDISH BEAUTY FROM THE OLD DAYS)Entombed - 'Left Hand Path' one of the best death metal albums ever (I know this is a no-brainer but wanted to say it anyways) 'But life goes on' Demo is really awesomeTiamat - 'In the Shrines of the Kingly Dead' (fucking brilliant)Pan Thy Monium - First Demo (i think called Dawn)Demigod - First Demo

There's so much wrong with that list

Please enlighten me what is wrong with this list. I am curious. These are classics when I heard them 18 years ago (or some of them that long ago) and still are today

Demon Tales by Mortem, from Peru. I'm not nearly as versed in death metal as I am in black metal, so the only comparison I can make is to Therion - old Therion, before they gayed everything up. A lot less "symphonic" than that, but the similarity in theatrical writing and majestic-scale atmospheres is undeniable. It's more than good enough to drive me to look into the rest of their discography.

Ungod's Circle of the Seven Infernal Pacts has been getting a lot of recent play, as well.

I just listened to the same Mortem album yesterday. It is great; I hear most similarity to Slayer (the technique), Vader (the pacing) and Morbid Angel (the melodies) - but with the particular South American intense insanity.
